Competitions

Enactus United States competitions are challenging, team-oriented events that create a sense of accountability and motivation for teams to continually improve the quality of their projects. They also provide an opportunity for collaboration and best-practice sharing, further strengthening the value of the learning experience and the overall effectiveness of the program.

In the United States, the competition process begins with the Regional Exposition competition.

The Regional Champions then travel to the National Exposition competition. 2016-2017 Enactus National Exposition is in Kansas City, MO this year.

This is our goal, to be the team named the Enactus United States National Champion and represent the United States at the Enactus World Cup.

Career Opportunities

Beyond the experience of the competition, these unique events are full of opportunities for networking, collaboration and best-practice sharing. Enactus United States partner companies have the opportunity to recruit future talent through career fairs held in conjunction with the competitions and participate in special events, such as the Top to Top Forum, Women In Business Forum and Top to Future-Top Forum, provide additional opportunities for mentorship and idea exchange.
